not perfectly clear to me if this is what you want, but the following code 
runs for me until the year 1974 where there are no observations:

***********
webuse nlswork
reg ln_wage age race grade if year==68
predict r68, r
whitetst, fitted
forval i=69(1)88 {
local j = `i'-1
        reg ln_wage age race grade if year==`i'
        predict r`i', r
        reg r`i' r`j'
        whitetst, fitted
}
***********
best,
rich

st: Running simple autocorrelation regressions using -forval-






Stata 9.2, Windows XP

I'm having trouble executing this -forval- code:

webuse nlswork
reg ln_wage age race grade if year==68
predict r1, r
whitetst, fitted
forval i=69(1)88 {
        reg ln_wage age race grade if year==`i'
        predict r`i', r
        reg r`i' r`i_[n-1]'
        whitetst, fitted
}

The problem, of course, is with -reg r`i' r`i_[n-1]'-, which chokes
with the error code:

r ambiguous abbreviation
r(111);

Even after checking -h forval-, I can't find a satisfactory way of
getting Stata to automate the second residual term, which should be
the one estimated for the year before the first one in each
-regress-ion.

All solutions gratefully received.
